About This Tool
Core Logic & Features: Required: parse input Go source and apply formatting with the Go standard library formatter, returning the formatted code and a success indicator. Optional/advanced: in-memory multi-file formatting, newline normalization, and batch processing to handle many files in one run; comments are preserved and indentation is standardized according to tabs.
Inputs & Outputs: Inputs: code (string, UTF-8, sample provided). Outputs: formatted_code (string), status (string), parse_error (string, empty on success). Validation ensures the input is valid Go source before formatting; otherwise an error is returned without altering content.
Algorithms & Calculations: The implementation delegates to the Go standard library go/format to perform canonical formatting; the result is deterministic for a given input. If the input cannot be parsed as Go, the formatter returns a parse_error with details. No semantic analysis or lint rules are applied.
Error & Edge Cases: Empty input yields empty formatted output with a success status. Non-Go content or invalid syntax yields a structured error without modifying code. Very large files are processed in streaming-friendly chunks if supported, otherwise wrapped by the host. Line endings in output are normalized to LF by default.
Industry/Region & Localization: UTF-8 encoding; formatting rules are locale-agnostic and consistent across regions. Standard Go environments are assumed.
Assumptions & Exclusions: Assumes input is Go source code; does not perform linting, semantic fixes, or language translation. Not designed to format non-Go languages or embedded code outside of Go source files.
How to Use
- Provide Go source code as input to the tool.
- Run the formatter to apply the standard formatting rules.
- Retrieve the formatted code from the output stream or result field.
- Validate formatting locally or in CI, and commit if satisfied.
- If syntax errors occur, review the input and re-run after correction.
